Someone had asked in another part of this forum whether there were any popular songs with trampling references in them besides Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking” (which was covered by Geri Haliwell a couple of years ago). Kirsty MacColl’s “In These Shoes?” (which was covered by Bette Midler) was mentioned.
Rupert Holmes (famous for “The Pina Colada Song”) recorded a song called “Partners in Crime” on his 1978 album of the same name. It has a very long set of lyrics, but contains the following verse:
“She is a buyer for Bloomingdale’s.
He’s division head of commercial sales.
They met at the office. Odds were one-to-one they’d meet.
“Work is the great aphrodisiac.
It’s that nine-to-five gets ’em in the sack.
Afternoons at the office, evenings at the health retreat.
“And all day long he just bawls her out
‘Bout some shipment due on the air freight route.
But when they leave the office, guess who gets the upper hand?
“She’s into power. He’s into pain.
And beneath her heel he will long remain.
And he needs her so badly, loves it when she takes command.
(Chorus)
“And it’s him and her, me and you.
We do it to each other, whatever we do.
Hand in hand, arm in arm.
It’s always been the two of us doin’ us harm.
It’s the same deal every time.
We’re all of us partners in crime.”
